The Deep End • Life-Giving

Many years ago I saw a Hollywood ‘religious’ film about Jesus of Nazareth. Jeffrey Hunter - he of the brilliant blue eyes, for those old enough to remember him - portrayed Jesus. In one scene, the raising of Lazarus to life (today’s Gospel reading, John 11:1 -45), Hunter calls on him to come forth from his tomb. He does, wrapped in layers of loose cloth, except for his face, which would have been better wrapped too. He looked hideous. I thought that if that was what being raised to life meant, he’d have been better left as he was.

In today’s first reading(Ez37:12-14) Yahweh says he will bring the house of Israel up from its grave and put his spirit within them so that they live . No ghoulish appearances there, no mummified creatures creaking around zombie-like as in a horror film. God gives his Spirit, beautiful, vibrant, and creative. Whoever open up to that Spirit, in turn becomes beautiful, vibrant, and creative.

The body is often debased in today’s entertainment industry. Constant exposure to that debasement can degrade one’s respect for the beauty and sanctity of the human body - the dwelling place of God’s Holy Spirit. Nothing debased or second-grade ever comes from the hand of God.
